Coronavirus screening at Assisi's
Sacro Convento Franciscan monastery has uncovered 18 positive
cases.
"At the moment they are all isolated and in a good state of
health," said Sacro Convento Press Director Father Enzo
Fortunato on the Sanfrancescopatronoditalia website.
The positive cases regard four friars and 14 recently arrived
novices.
"While wishing them a fast recovery, the friars of the community
continue with their duties, praying and welcoming the pilgrims
and tourists who wish to enter the Basilica of San Francesco
d'Assisi.
"That means proceeding with all the precautions and caution
already being applied".
